[00:01.700]
[00:20.070] The high, high walls of Derry look so dismal and grey,
[00:26.260] And so does lovely Johnny, he is gone far, far away,
[00:31.720] And He's gone away to Scotland some sweetheart for to see.
[00:37.560] May the high powers above send him safe home to me.
[00:43.170]
[00:43.420] Oh, Johnny, lovely Johnny, do you mind the day
[00:49.250] When you came to my window to steal me away?
[00:55.770] You promised that you'd marry me above all female kind.
[01:01.590] Oh, Johnny, lovely Johnny, what has altered your mind?
[01:26.830]
[01:27.080] Well the first time that I met you, 'tis well I do own,
[01:32.920] 'Twas in my father's garden in the County Tyrone,
[01:39.470] With my white apron round us, to shield out the wind.
[01:45.100] Oh, Johnny, lovely Johnny, what has altered your mind?
[01:50.750]
[01:51.000] And the next place we courted, was in yonder green grove,
[01:53.000]
[01:56.820] Where the blackberry bushes around us they stood,
[02:02.730] Where the oak and the apple around us did twine,
[02:08.560] Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny, what has altered your mind?
[02:32.310]
[02:32.560] A bunch of blue ribbons I will tie up and wear,
[02:39.070] And a wreath of forget-me-nots I will twine round my hair.
[02:44.790] And if ever he returns again, I will greet him with joy,
[02:50.490] And I will kiss the lips of my own Johnny boy.
